CAP AND GOWN.
The Vassar Girls Not the Pioneers In
the Movement for a Uniform.

To the Editor Of the Press:
The recent controversy at Vassar in regard
to the all important ''wherewithal shall We be
clothed is nothing new among the young
women in American colleges. The same
question arose at Wellesley few years ago,
only the demands of the Wellesley students
were a. little more moderate, as they only
asked for Oxford gowns and caps as a regalia
for graduation. The fact that the four col
lege classes unanimously urged such a mea-
sure, led to long and serious consideration
of the subject by the president and faculty,
but the result was, as at Vassar, an unquali-
fed veto of this medieval garb, on the
grounds of establishing a precedent which
might be severely criticised by other institu-
tions of learning.
Another objection against the pet scheme
was the unfairness of one class legislating
for all succeeding classes in the matter Of
dress, particular in which each class desires
to exercise7individual taste Lastly, as it
was proposed that the college should pur-
chase and of course own the costumes, it
would necessitate an outlay of money which
was needed for other purposes
The arguments for the adoption of uni
form costume, as put forth by its fair advo-
Gates, are not without virtue. At each COM
mencement much dissatisfaction and even
disapprobation had been expressed by the
faculty at the elegance and expensiveness of
the dresses for graduation, as being unsuited
TO college girls. 1t was also urged that some
girls could not, or would not, remain in
College to receive their diplomas, simply be-
cause they could not compete with their more
fortunate classmates in the matter of appa-
rel. For these reasons the Wellesley stu
dents fought for the sombre caps and gowns,
as being not only appropriate on such an oc-
casion, but also as reducing commencement
expenses to the minimum. They claimed
that all being attired. alike, would have
fort and even unhappiness which comes to
the cheaply dressed alumna, would be for
ever done away with. Under such circum-

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE RAG BABY.

Charles II. Hoyt's Rag Baby" is just as
funny as ever, and the audience at Portland
Theatre last evening laughed and applauded
as if the piece was entirely novel to them.
One reason of this lies in the fact that the
Rag Baby" is full of the most comical sit
uations and that Mr.. Frank Daniels as Old
Sport, is inimitable in the part. The vari-
Gus members of the cast, including Miss
Bessie Samson, Miss Rosa France-who is
new face, with a most winsome manner
and good soprano voice, Mr.. Harry Con-
nor, who takes three characters most sue
cessfully, Albert Riddle-another excellent
actor new here-and Mark Sullivan, are ex-
cellent, and Handsome the dog, is particu
larly worthy of mention. The changes in
the piece have given it much more snap, and
1t will be repeated tonight.

created an excitement on Spring street, near
the No. engine house. She walked up and

waving manuscript over her head, at the

other well known families. The police sta

on her until it arrived. AS soon as she was
taken into the wagon she quieted down. AT
the station it was ascertained that the young
woman lives in the city, and she was taken
